I took my time, and once I saw the over where I needed to attack, that's when everything changed. I feel great in this moment.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\u2019s working quite well, but I can bat anywhere. You can send me to open, middle-order, or lower-order. I've batted in previous age groups as well, so I was ready for everything. But this No. 4 position is working for me too,\" said Reddy in a conversation with JioCinema.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reddy was 13 off 13 balls at one point, before hitting a six on a no-ball off Mahmudullah flicked a switch in him to attack the Bangladesh bowlers with humungous shots, especially on the leg-side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I practiced with that bat and felt it was very good, but I believed in another bat, so I was a bit confused. Then I changed my bat and trusted it. That no-ball gave me a bit of pressure relief, and from there, I took the game on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\u2019s my individual plan. At that moment, Bangladesh had great momentum, so we thought to take some time. I felt that no-ball changed everything when I hit the six off it, and then we got charged up and everything went in the right direction. That was the over we targeted because an off-spinner was bowling to a right-hander. It was a big moment, but I was backing my power,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reddy hit his first international fifty in 27 balls, while sharing a whirlwind 108-run stand with fellow half-centurion Rinku Singh. \"We didn\u2019t plan anything. He was just saying, \u2018It's God's plan, baby!\u2019 After every six, it was \u2018God's plan.\u2019 We didn\u2019t really think about it too much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I didn\u2019t have that skill (of attacking spinners) from the beginning, but I\u2019ve worked hard on it, along with my bat swing. After my first year, I realised I needed to improve in this area. It feels good to see that hard work paying off.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reddy provided how conversations with bowling coach Morne Morkel helped him come good with the ball. \"Yes, I am working on my bowling. I want to be more consistent because that will help me grow as a good all-rounder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"He's a great coach and gives me a lot of confidence, so I am very grateful to have him on the team. The plans here are very different, and they've been really helpful for my development and skill.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reddy provided how conversations with bowling coach Morne Morkel helped him come good with the ball. \"Yes, I am working on my bowling. I want to be more consistent because that will help me grow as a good all-rounder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
